[01:35] <Ca3sar> anyone have knowledge on putting xubuntu on a macbook?
[01:35] <holstein> !mac
[01:56] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Hey, I just updated from XUbuntu 13.10 to 14.04, and now my XFCE desktop doesn't have any panels, and whenever I try to browse files I get a an 'Failed to execute default File Manager : Failed to execute child process "thunar" (no such file or directory)' error. Any ideas?
[01:57] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: i would tty or terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and share any errors.. make sure you are up to date, and actually running 14.04
[01:58] <Ca3sar> I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line.
[01:58] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Thanks, I'll try the dist upgrade.
[01:58] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the guest account... if all is well in the guest account, then its likely the users config is bad
[01:58] <Tim-xubuntu97w> update gave no errors.
[01:59] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Yeah, I set up a new 'test' user, thinking that was the issue, but it was borked as well
[01:59] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the live CD for 14.04, and see that it supports the hardware well, and do a backup of my data from it, and consider just fresh installing
[01:59] <Ca3sar> I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line.
[01:59] <holstein> Ca3sar: the minimal *is* just command line
[01:59] <Ca3sar> ohhhhh... what do i do to get the normal desktop then?
[02:00] <Tim-xubuntu97w> if 14.04 is the problem, is there an easy way to roll back? (I suspect not)
[02:00] <holstein> Ca3sar: you can use a "normal" desktop installation iso.. or, see that you are connected to the internet and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[02:00] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: its not
[02:01] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: you cant roll back.. but, i really dont think 14.04 is the problem..
[02:01] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Yep. when I SSH in, it shows I'm in 14.04.1
[02:01] <Tim-xubuntu97w> I would think not.
[02:01] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: you should have your data backed up regardless, since all hard drives fail.. i would do that prior to anything else.. then, i would consider reinstallation the "easy" way..
[02:01] <Tim-xubuntu97w> It very well could be related that I'm running headless and getting in via XRDP.
[02:02] <Ca3sar> holstein: thanks I think it's working. I'll consult if I have any more issues
[02:02] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: yes.. that could *all* be related. i would get native on the machine..
[02:02] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Yeah, I've no data on teh machine, it's just a print server, and a place for me to fool around on.
[02:02] <Tim-xubuntu97w> I'll pull the machine and see if I run into issues 'native'. I hadn't heard that term before, I like it. :)
[02:03] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Thanks for the help guys.
[02:03] <holstein> Tim-xubuntu97w: then, try #ubuntu or the mailing list if you want to fool around and see what you have broken upgrading. otherwise, reinstallation should be the quickest
[02:03] <Tim-xubuntu97w> I think so. I just gotta get the printer shared the same..
[02:04] <Tim-xubuntu97w> Thanks again for your insight!
[02:04] <holstein> i would probalby just do a headless, x-less command line machine for a printserver..
[02:05] <Tim-xubuntu97w> I would too, but I want a desktop to fool around on as well. The samba/cups server is still running fine.
[02:06] <holstein> you can "fool around" with live CD's. and VM's
[02:07] <holstein> i say, set up the server for the task, and use live CD's to mess around.. or, dual boot.. or be prepared for your server to be broken
[02:07] <Tim-xubuntu97w> true.. true.. I'm gonna try re-running the X11RDP-o-Matic script I got from scarygliders.
[02:07] <Tim-xubuntu97w> You guys have a good night, thanks again for your help.
[02:07] <holstein> that script could be broken in 14.04.. or not support 14.04
[02:07] <holstein> or, just be broken since the upgrade
[02:08] <Tim-xubuntu97w> It's not.. but it wasn't in 13.10 either. :)
[02:08] <holstein> i mean, its not a xubuntu script.. its not something that shipped with either
[02:08] <holstein> plug in a monitor, test.. reduce variables.. right now, you are testing many things at once..
[02:29] <Ca3sar> can i enable multitouch on my macbook with xubuntu? if i touch the trackpad with mutiple fingers the mouse will not move
[02:30] <holstein> Ca3sar: nothing about xubuntu or ubuntu or linux prevents apple from providing you support for multitouch in linux/xubuntu
[02:30] <holstein> Ca3sar: if its not working "out of the box" it may take some configuration.. or, it may just not work
[02:31] <holstein> you can reference..
[02:31] <holstein> !mac
[02:31] <Ca3sar> Oh okay
[02:51] <Ca3sar> the task bar at the top keeps disappearing when i hover over it, and reappears when my mouse goes below the middle of the screen
[02:51] <holstein> Ca3sar: in XFCE? you have a panel at the top that is hiding?
[02:52] <Ca3sar> holstein: yes
[02:52] <Ca3sar> holstein: and sorry I'm very new here
[02:52] <holstein> Ca3sar: *if* thats the case, you can right click it, go into settings and set it to not auto hide
[02:53] <Ca3sar> holstein: auto hide is unchecked
[02:53] <holstein> Ca3sar: then, its like not autohiding then
[02:54] <holstein> Ca3sar: could be virtual resolution making the screen "scroll"..
[02:54] <holstein> Ca3sar: try setting the screen resolution differently and test for that
[02:54] <Ca3sar> it only goes away when the mouse touches it
[02:54] <holstein> Ca3sar: i dont understand
[02:54] <holstein> Ca3sar: nothing should go away when the mouse touches it..
[02:56] <holstein> Ca3sar: please try and elaborate and share a screenshot
[02:56] <holstein> !paste
[03:00] <Ca3sar> both images here http://imgur.com/jwbcrXi,9VFUza9#0
[03:02] <holstein> Ca3sar: i would disable hiding..
[03:02] <Ca3sar> hiding isn't on?
[03:02] <holstein> Ca3sar: you can try in the guest account. you can remove the config for the panel.. you can remove the *entire* panel.. and make a new one that is not hiding.. there are many ways to deal with it
[03:03] <holstein> Ca3sar: the panel *is* hiding..
[03:03] <holstein> Ca3sar: dont worry with what tick boxes are checked.. just keep trying things til it works..
[03:03] <holstein> Ca3sar: right click.. add another panel.. test it..
[03:03] <holstein> logout, login using the xfce session and not the xubuntu session
[03:03] <holstein> try the guest account..
[03:05] <Ca3sar> guest works. hm
[03:05] <holstein> so you can remove the config in your users /home..
[03:08] <Ca3sar> in my main account? how?
[03:09] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/224006/resetting-xfce-panels-to-default-settings outlines how i would do it
[03:09] <holstein> Ca3sar: ^
[03:26] <RJ45> Hi, running Xubuntu 12.04.3 here, I just noticed a process with no name in Task Manager, it appears idle with RSS 17MiB, however, it doesn't show-up in Gnome System Monitor, only in Task Manager (the one that comes with Xubuntu), does anyone else here have a process with no name?
[03:30] <RJ45> wait, nevermind, I just checked the PID in Gnome System Monitor, and apparently it's just my Monitorix installation :)
[03:31] <RJ45> weird how it displays as blank in Task Manager though
[03:32] <RJ45> ..I have so many different system monitors installed XD  <3 linux
[08:36] <alket> hi , why doesn't my wireless show in network manager: lsusb: 04f3:0234 Elan Microelectronics Corp
[09:01] <alket> how to see Notification history ?
[09:15] <deshipu> alket: I don't think there is any kept
[10:12] <phenom> Can anyone speak of the stability of a xubuntu system encrypted w/ LUKS and with LVM enabled?
[10:12] <phenom> I seem to be having all kinds of problems.
[10:15] <enarion> hello, could anyone here help me remapping a key from my keyboard please ? i've tried xmodmap but it doesn't seem to work
[10:17] <brainwash> enarion: you should pastebin your xmodmap config and explain what exactly you've tried so far
[10:18] <enarion> ok. i'm french, i use the keyboard french-alternative because i can write characters like œ with it. but the behaviour of the right control is not the same. instead of calling Control_R (like in classic french), the key is ISO_Level5_Shift, and it bothers me in some use cases.
[10:19] <enarion> so i've created a .xmodmaprc file containing keycode 105 = Control_R, and launched xmodmap .xmodmaprc in a terminal.
[10:20] <adesst> is there any option of clone or extend when external monitor attach? i've googled and found that i could set it from Display settings and do manual X-offset setting
[10:21] <enarion> and I don't know where I can find this xmodmap config file?
[11:06] <enarion> i'm back, sorry brainwash
[11:06] <enarion> my computer randomly poweroff sometimes
[11:06] <enarion> i don't know if you answered
[14:11] <sjohn> Hello
[14:33] <xubuntu92w> When i use a usb memory and try to unmount it i get a message it is busy with a program tumblr or what it is..
[14:33] <adesst> where can i find the irc web log?
[14:33] <xubuntu92w> And when i try to change language. I dont make it works.
[14:55] <knome> adesst, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[14:58] <xubuntu92w> How can i make the language works ? i try to change.. it not works.
[15:54] <beautyofthebaud> Hello, quick question that I can only find outdated information for: Installed Xubuntu to use with cs:go native client, but the xubuntu-set minimum for mouse acceleration is .1 -- how do I completely disable mouse acceleration?
[16:56] <xubuntu23w> okilp
[16:59] <xubuntu24w> what is the 'root password' in xubuntu
[17:00] <xangua> There is no root password
[17:00] <xangua> !noroot
[17:01] <slickymasterWork> xubuntu24w: also take a read at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[17:01] <xubuntu24w> i wanted to install ESET antivirus for Linux but the installation procedure say it needs root pasword
[17:02] <xangua> Use your user password
[17:02] <xubuntu24w> the installation wont take it
[17:02] <xangua> Also is there a particular reason to install it?
[17:03] <xangua> Does your user account have administrative privileges? This is the one you created when installed ubuntu?
[17:04] <xubuntu24w> i have no idea about it
[17:07] <nomic> you can do "sudo su" to get "root"
[17:07] <nomic> ie. what you would have as "root" in say, fedora
[17:07] <nomic> sudo is safer
